A SENIOR bikie gang member has been charged after police allegedly found child abuse images on his computer while investigating a shooting.

The man, identified as Erkan “The Wolf” Keskin by the Daily Telegraph, was arrested at a home in Millers Point in Sydney’s CBD and taken to a police station, where he was charged with the possession of child abuse material and refused bail.

The 41-year-old is one of the top members of the Lone Wolf outlaw motorcycle gang, which police have been investigating in connection with the death of Mehmet Yilmaz in 2016. Mr Keskin has not been charged in relation to the death of Mr Yilmaz.

Detectives from Strike Force Estop, established to look into the gangland killing, searched several properties last year and seized a computer from a Millers Point home. They found images deemed child exploitation material on the hard drive.

NSW Police said it had “charged a high-ranking member of an outlaw motorcycle gang” after allegedly locating the illegal images while investigating the shooting of Mr Yilmaz, 29, in St Marys, western Sydney.

Mr Keskin was arrested at 10am on Thursday and taken to Sydney City Police Station before appearing at Central Local Court, where he was formally refused bail. He will reappear at the same court on Friday.

Investigators searched a Millers Point home with the Public Order and Riot Squad just before 6pm on Thursday. Police seized a laptop, a mobile phone, suspected prohibited drugs, steroids, unknown tablets, photographs and documentation.

Two men, aged 26 and 24, were spoken to at the home and released pending further inquiries.

Inquiries into the alleged incident are continuing, and the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mr Yilmaz’s death on September 9, 2016 are ongoing.

Police are urging anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Estop investigators to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page. Do not report on NSW Police social media pages. Information will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
